Park of history of the river Chusovoy is one of the chief cultural points of Perm region. It lies in a mountainous area 5km off the town of Chusovoy, a metallurgical centre. What is special about this ethnographic park is that it comprises a wide range of historical items dating back to the nineteenth century in a small territory. The main exposition embodies the buildings of the 19th century and corresponds to the traditions and customs of the old country life in Perm region. To build up a village of the 19th century, a country house (izba), a grocery (lavka), a belfry and a fire station (kalancha), the museum of wooden arts, and a couple of chapels have been put together. All the exhibits displayed indoors are original and come from different parts of the district of Chusovoy. What is interesting about the park is that all the items presented can be touched or experienced. Besides these sites, you can also look into the writers' memorial museum that depicts the life of the authors, poets, and journalists whose life in this way or another (residence, political confinement, working) was connected with the region of Perm or Chusovoy
